Lately a new biography giving St. Patrick an unquestioned place in history has been published by Prof. Bury of King's college, Cambridge. Three men of Patrick's own time bore the same name and have survived in records. This has confused scholars who paid no attention to the myths. One was an earlier bishop of Ireland | named I'atraic. Another person named Sen Patraic, and also called "Old Pat rick," is now treated as a myth by in vestigators. Saint Patrick's own name was a l.atin pseudonym, and as he j wrote it, "Patrlcius," means "patri : cian," or "gentleman," strengthening the former belief that he was tradi- I tional, or the personification of a class in ancient Irish affairs. | That Patrick really lived is now ! beyond dispute. The Important facts j about him, indeed, arc in hi« own ' writing, or at least exist as later manu script copies of documents he penned himself. There are two of these. The moro informative 13 lii 3 "Confession," i j written when he was an old man, and the other his "Letter to Corotieus," ; written against a British chieftain i who had carried off some Irish con verts as slaves. Scholars who former ly doubted the genuineness of the con fession have since admitted its au thenticity, and Prof. Bury demon strates that it could hardly be a forgery because the text, on critical examina tion by the most searching modern methods, is consistent in every detail, | while the strong personal feeling dis ! played is the highest proof of all that it is a genuine document. And the letter is idenlical in style. There are also many other documents of Pat rick's time or later, from which a compact body of genuine information I has been sifted. The legends that have grown up I around him are much more beautiful | than ascertained fact surviving in the j old manuscripts. Under a heathen re j ligion, Ireland's priests were the pow j erful Druids, priests and magicians who had supernatural lore and inno -1 cent secular learning, together with | skill in poetry and knowledge of the | laws and history of the island. They | were naturally opposed to a new creed that would abolish their power. Ye.t it is conjectured that their opposition to Patrick was not great, because they had little organization. And Pat ! rick very wisely engrafted Christian j ity onto old pagan beliefs. The Irish j believed in demons. So did the Chris j tian church of that day, and Patrick ' carried with him exorcists whose spe | cifll function was to deal with demons. Patrick believed as firmly in the evil powers the Druids fought as they themselves. So both met on common grounds. His aim was to show, not. that they were wrong, but that his be lief and his God were more potent than theirs. This is the fact of the matter. But the legends tell a more interesting story, and myths though they are, their beauty is compelling. Two maidens, daughters of the high king, lived at Crochan to be educated by the Druids. They went one day to a fountain to draw water and found Patrick and his companions sitting there. They questioned him, thinking him supernatural, and he converted and baptized them in the fountain. They immediately fell asleep in de&th and were burled near the fountain. in these poetic old stories, woven around the saint by an imaginative people, and polished by centuries of telling, there are grains of historical fact, suc;h as names of persons and places, records of ancient customs an.l other hints, that throw light cm Pat rick's real work. He lived :51 years in Ireland and founded many churches, made the nation Christian as a whole and brought Ireland into connection with the Roman empire, making it a part of Christendom and civilization. There w<*re Christian communities before he came, but without him these might have died out. He brought, ma terial benefits as well as spiritual, for he diffused a knowledge of Latin and thus put Ireland in touch with the 1 worlcL# letters and arts. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1908 JSqpllcsiiaQilLSoiS) The old man will not marcli to-day— ll* meant to be in line; Tou mind last year lie stepped along so Jaunty and so fine His bat atilt so boyish, his shoulders straight and square. And him near eighty hut as young as any marching there? 'Twos yesterday his shamrock come. 'Twas Clancy sent it him; And when he saw the little leaves his eyes grew soft and dim And he sal down and patted it lil:e 'twas a baby's hair— The little hit of green that came from far off County Clare. 'Twas like a man that had a spell, the way he'd sit and look And sigh about the way It grows along the little brook That runs Into the Shannon— " 'Twas the song It sang," said he, "That led me to the Shannon and from there across the sea. But sure this is the voice of home, grown up so sweet and clean; And like the love I bear for It, still tender, young and green. It paints a thousand things for me—l wish that I was there; I wish that I was where thoy find the green In County Clare." And long into the night he sat ndream of other days. He whispered of th<* boyhood paths, as or.e whose fancy strays Hark over long forgotten fi< Ida—and then with eyes aflame Ho looked and lookrd into the past tnd whispered mother's name! "Acushla! Norah!" . . . Sure 'twas joy that held him when he sighed, Ho dropped his head upon his arms, and, dreaming so, he died. And In his hand, pressed close against his locks of silver hair Was crushed the little bit of green from far oft County Clare. —Chicago Tribune. WORTHY OF HIGHEST HONOR. All the Christian World Is Indebted to St. Patrick. St. Patrick's day brings out in bold relief the fact that one of the most warlike nations the world has ever known cherishes as its patron saint a missionary of the Prince of Peace. St. Patrick gained undying renown as the personification of Irish ideals and Irish national spirit because he won Ireland for Christianity. If the banishing of the snakes from Erin is a fable it is a fact that Patrick expelled gross superstitions and gave Ireland a new bond of unity and na tional feeling in the form of a far higher religion than the Emerald Isle had ever known. If much that is myth ical and of no importance has been told of his life and deeds there is no room for doubt that he transformed an entire country and uplifted a nation. It appears to have been a compara tively easy task for the ardent and gifted missionary of the church. Ire land responded to his appeals with one of those great waves of swift en thusiasm which have always been possible to the warm-hearted and quick-thinking Celts. The emotion and the thought of a race moved in unison, and paganism was swept away as a great wind might banish a fog. It is a fine analogy with Irish serv ices to the world many times since Patrick's day. It harmonizes perfectly with the hopes which may well be cherished for the Ireland of the future and for the children of Erin and their descendants in all parts of the world. Where is there not great need of high enthusiasm? Where is there not much to do for humanity that will never be done unless by the help of such fervor and such devotion to ideals as the Irish have always been quick to show when roused to their full capacity for work which counts in the progress of the world? Ireland may well celebrate St. Pat rick, for the Irish race, guided and in spired by such ideals and such deeds us his, must always be a great power for good—the wide and eternal good of mankind. Baltyhcoley "Lemonade." A joke was played ou Arthur Halfour on the first St. Patrick's day of his tenure of the Irish chief secretary ship. A cigar box, delivered to him at the house of commons, contained a bunch of shamrocks, "From a sincere Irish admirer." Hut, to the terror of his secretaries, the box was also found to contain a wicked-looking steel spring, covered with a queer white compound. A chemical expert waa cailed and he examined the "infernal machine" —everybody momentarily ex pecting an explosion. The puzzled chemist, venturing to put a particle of the compound on his tongue, found that it was simply sugar impregnated with lemon. He then turned the box upside down and out rolled a rusty corkscrew, a spiral spring and an old nutmeg grater. Th ; was also a scrap of paper inscribed: "Buy the whisky yourself; you can then con coct the famous lemonade of Bally hooley and drink to ould Ireland." "Apostle of Joy." The shamrock, the small white clo ver of Ireland, is associated with St. Patrick from the day on which he used the trefoil to illustrate the doc trine of the Trinity. It is interesting to know that, the Arabic name for the trefoil i# "shamrakh," and that it Is held sacred in Iran as emblematical of the Persian triads. Pliny comments on the fact that serpents are never found near the trefoil leaf. The course of St. Patrick through Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales may be traced by the existence of places named after him. Legends abound without number, each adding to the love and veneration investing this saint, who was iu truth au apoatle of good works aud Joy. RESOLVEb TO SNUB EVE. Mr». Intheswim Intended to Draw So cial Line in Heaven. The minister had dropped into tea, and the conversation had drifted through various channels to the ques tion of whether or not we should know each other in heaven. Presuming that our physical beings would be perpetu ated, and that recognition would be as sured, the minister had asked various ones at the table among whom the Bib lical characters they would be most interested in recognizing. Some mentioned one prophet and some another, but one lady, noted for her social exclusiveness, had not spoken. Turning to her the minister said: "And who would you like to meet in heaven, Mrs. Intheswim?" Mrs. Intheswim pursed her lips. "I really don't know," she said, "but there is one thing I do know, and that is that I shouldn't care to meet Eve. In fact, I don't know that 1 would speak to her if I did!" CURED HER CHILDREN, Girls Suffered with Itching Eczemas Baby Had a Tender Skin, Too- Relied on Cuticura Remedies. "Some years ago my three little girls had a very bad form of eczema.

I washed my children's heads with Cuticura Soap and then applied the wonderful oint ment, Cu'icura. I did this four or fivo times and I can say that they have been entirely cured. I have another baby who is so plump that the folds of Bkin on his neck were broken and even bled. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuti cura Ointment and the next morning the trouble had disappeared. Mme.
